Tips
Ok here we go...
1.) The best lube is.... PENCIL yes pencil just run your car upside down and on the spur gear just lightly touch a pencil to the spur gear do the same with the gear on the axel. DONT DO THIS TO THE PINION GEAR. If any gets in the motor it will fry it. Only do this with a 2.6 or lower motor, because with higher motor speeds it may damage the gears. After about 5 times of doing this your car will run 1mph or so faster !!! Try to re lube after every 10-15 runs.
2.) Heating up before races....
Before i do anything if my car has been sitting for over 5 mins i always turn it upside down and run it till it dies then it will be nice and warm and you will get better proformance next run.
3.) Cripple cap and pots mod.
Pots mod can get you upto 5 feet more range, the cripple cap gave me 40 feet more range also. (one thing with cripple cap is that sometimes after its done for your car to respond you have to hold your finger ont he antenna LIGHTLY then you will get some RANGE)
4.) Antenna modifacations...
You wont belive what taking the pcb cover off and untying the knot under the pcb and giving you 1-2 cm of antenna will do it will give you anywhere from 1-5 ft extra range. If you want to replace your antenna just use Cat5 wire.
